I'm beginning to suspect that the channel op is in fact an Ada 'bot' ... able to point you towards an Ada solution for most problems, and quoting the LRM chapter & verse. If the channel op is not available (infrequent) there is generally someone else about to help ... So, in short, if you have an Ada prob and need a quick answer, try #ada. Students, hobbyists and those new to Ada, in particular, may find the channel helpful. regards, Rod. ps: Of course, it may well be that Ada is so simple and elegant, that help is little needed ... ;).
